Complete quartet
Cursed Empire
Four books. One doomed empire. Zero waiting between installments. The Cursed Empire quartet is Rachel's epic of revenge, romance, and dragon fire, published across 2021 and 2022 and complete from crown to ruin.
Reading order: the four books run in sequence, Dragons to Traitors to Monsters to Ruins. See the reading order page for the full catalog.
Empire of Dragons
Book one • 2021
The quartet opens with an empire that runs on dragon fire and quiet cruelty, and the first sparks of the rebellion that will consume it. Political intrigue, sharp edged characters, and a story that knows exactly where it is going.
Read it for: dragons, revenge plots, court intrigue, a four book binge
Empire of Traitors
Book two • 2022
Loyalties fracture and the word traitor starts to depend entirely on who is speaking. The middle of the quartet tightens every thread the first book laid down.
Read it for: shifting alliances, betrayals that land, rising romance
Empire of Monsters
Book three • 2022
The monsters of the title are not always the ones with claws. Book three pushes the series into its darkest territory and readers rate it among the strongest of the four.
Read it for: moral gray areas, consequences arriving on schedule
Empire of Ruins
Book four • 2022
The finale, and the highest rated book of the quartet. Everything the empire built, hid, and broke comes due. Finished series are a gift, and this one sticks the landing.
Read it for: a finale that pays off, the highest rated book in the series
